Akhenaten's Ninth Vision
(The self's battle with time)

The man who serves the self and its own essence is liken unto the unknowing voyager who's Ka is trapped and is thereby forced along the continuum of the spell-of-life.

While he has the freedom to venture from limiting conditions to unobstructed adventures, while he has the will to sojourn from illusion to the experience of predestination, while he has the boldness to affront karma, though he be permitted to walk from reality to illusion and to return, what has been shall still be the seed of what will be.

Know, therefore, that what has been can be swayed. The future can still come from a different cause. The effect of what has been does not, by law, dictate the edict of what will be. Know that what has been is but the first word of what could be. When the first word has been spoken, it is writ into the aura of the soul to await judgment of the final deed.

Understand that there are three judgments to the walk of Predestiny. The first is the judgment of desire! For, when a man so serves himself that he looseth his emotions, he will sell a part of himself and a part of his desires, a part of his ideals upon the altar of the blind, but raging, experience of self-fulfillment. And, having spent himself unto satisfaction, speaks the first word. The deed can not be undone. Be it for the benefit of the whole, or for the lust of satisfaction, the past has been. The arc of the continuum has begun.

If a man has a beginning such that he has spoken the first word, let him repent unto the coming of the second judgment. For as surely as he has time, be it not to his liking, the white feather of the Ka shall be the implement of Maat.

Behold, therein lies the next judgment! As a man was in the past, even unto his cloak-of-travel, so shall he be again! Take heed therefore. If a man chooses to, in this second cycle of judgment, eat the fruits of the first word, he has but to repeat it.

Be it unto what-so-ever, his deed shall either ratify the first cause, and thereby give reign to destiny, or, he will have seen the error of his way of self's essence and turn away to a new cause, to a new beginning. It is thus that what-will-be comes from a different cause.

Know, therefore, that in the spell of life there is only one exit! Its hinges are the white feathers of Maat. Its handle rests upon the powers of Anubis. The many manifestations of illusions are but few along the way.

Anubis has power over he who sojourns but once within each epic. If he who voyages serves the self's powers of darkness, his cloak shall deceive the God-of-death. And, if the voyager be so cursed that he passes the predestined exit, he is cursed to mortality. Thus, is the third and final judgment.

If a man do battle with the God-of-Death, and by default against he field such that he raises his banner above Anubis, his is a shallow victory. Cursed is he! Forever mortal must he be unto eternity!

Therefore, surrender gracefully the yournings of youth. Take kindly the counseling of disenchantment. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with time and its many faces. It is as it should be! A man is but a child of Creations. A man is but a seed of eternity. When the experience of the continuum is over, with the great white feather of Maat as your shield, gaze deeply into the eyes of the hounds-of-Hades. For, he will guide you to your next encounter!...
